EOC Concludes Three-Day DELHI PA CAMP with Powerful Message of Faith

NEW DELHI, Nov 1, 2017: The Evangelical Organization Church (EOC) Delhi successfully concluded its three-day Delhi PA Camp 2017 on the evening of September 30 at Bethesda Social Service Center, Jangpuri, hosted by the Independent Church of India. The camp, themed “My grace is sufficient for you” (2 Corinthians 12:9), focused on strengthening Christian family leadership, particularly among fathers (PA meaning "Father") living in the National Capital Region (NCR).

Held from September 28 to 30, the camp brought together 40 participants from various churches and denominations across Delhi and NCR. The event was aimed at nurturing spiritually grounded family heads who can lead their households in alignment with Christian values.

Two renowned theologians, Rev. Dr. Kh Khaizakham and Rev. RC Varte, served as the main speaker and resource person, respectively. Rev. Dr. Khaizakham, an accomplished evangelist and author of over 20 books, shared profound insights on Christian principles, urging participants to live a life rooted in righteousness and spiritual discipline. Despite having served as an evangelist for over 43 years and now aged 69, he expressed his desire to continue spreading the Gospel worldwide.

Rev. RC Varte, who began his ministry in 1976 following the death of his mother, provided inspiring reflections on personal loss, faith, and perseverance. Born in Haflong, Assam, Rev. Varte shared the story of his father's pastoral service in Khampat’s Kanan Veng between 1953 and 1956 — a place named by his father based on the biblical “Canaan.” Rev. Varte, now Superintendent of the Independent Church of India (ICI), New Delhi, also spoke emotionally about the early challenges of Christianity in remote regions.

The camp featured a structured program including Bible study, morning and evening sessions, group discussions, Q&A hours, and prayer meetings. Campers were divided into four groups—Moses, Abraham, Jacob, and Joshua—with the Moses group winning the Best Discipline award.

Throughout the camp, Rev. Dr. Khaizakham emphasized the importance of recognizing one’s spiritual “boundary line,” cautioning that stepping beyond can lead to hardship. In his farewell message, he encouraged the campers with the verse Joshua 24:15, while Rev. Varte challenged attendees to reflect on their spiritual beginnings by asking, “Where did we receive New Life?”

The camp was efficiently organized under the leadership of Camp Director and EOC Delhi pastor ST Robert. Local secretary Mr. Ginlalchung expressed heartfelt gratitude for the event’s success. Mr. Sonpi delivered the vote of thanks, and Mr. KC Lalboi presented the financial report. Mementos were also presented to both the speaker and resource person as tokens of appreciation.

The camp, though brief, left a lasting spiritual impact, equipping fathers with tools to become Christ-centered leaders in their homes.
